2027 Is The Real Agenda” – Gumi Reacts To Trump’s Christian Genocide Alert

Controversial Islamic cleric Ahmad Gumi has dismissed claims of a Christian genocide in Nigeria as “politically motivated,” insisting that the renewed international scrutiny over religious persecution is a calculated move aimed at influencing the 2027 general elections.

Commenting on the United States’ decision to classify Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC), Gumi, via his official Facebook page on Saturday, accused certain “unpatriotic clerics” of colluding with foreign powers to tarnish Nigeria’s image.

“We have many unpatriotic bigot clerics who are aiding imperialists to divide us further so they can plunder our resources,” he said.

The cleric was reacting to U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement on Friday, which placed Nigeria on a religious freedom watchlist over alleged killings of Christians—a claim the Nigerian government has strongly denied.

Gumi described the U.S. move as both hypocritical and intrusive, arguing that Washington lacks the moral authority to lecture Nigeria on internal matters while grappling with its own social and economic crises.

“At a time when Americans are lining up for food rations, why should they concern themselves with our internal issues? This is not to say efforts aren’t being made to tackle insecurity, but what is missing is the right combination of strategies. Now they want to compound the problem,” he said.

He also alleged that some non-governmental organizations in Nigeria are being used as fronts to arm criminal groups under the guise of humanitarian work.

“Those who arm outlaws while claiming to act piously as NGOs pose a real danger. They can form and arm new militias, as they have done elsewhere,” Gumi warned.

The Kaduna-based cleric argued that the portrayal of Nigeria as a nation at war with Christians is misleading, emphasizing that the country’s crisis is one of criminality, not religion.

“Nigeria is under the sinister influence of religious bigotry. Our country faces threats not only from bandits, Boko Haram, IPOB, and other criminal elements—as recently admitted by Governor Soludo of Anambra—but also from numerous unpatriotic bigot clerics,” he stated.
